Health is Wealth

"How are you?" is a very casual question which we often ask when we meet someone we know. We ask this question so often that sometimes we don't even mean it. It just comes out of mouth & in some cases, out of habit! It is becoming an extension of polite greetings like "Good Morning" in this medically advanced age. But the funny part is that the person whose well-being is being inquired also doesn't pay much heed to it & often gives an off-hand reply. In fact, some people even mock at this question with one-liners such as "What can possibly happen to me?" or a boring "as usual." These things reflect of our negligence towards our fine health which some of us have been blessed with for ages. That's why healthy people don't realize the real worth of a good health & start taking it for granted until they fall ill.

I, myself had been ignorant about my good health before but, after going through some horrible ordeals like Chickenpox & Folliculitis, I was brought to my senses. Only after going through these afflictions did I realize that the thing which I very badly wanted back then was never acknowledged when I was blessed with it... It was my precious good health. So folks, treasure your good health because health is wealth.

Take care!
